-x = -82 - 42

minus and minus gets added.

-x = -124

we can cancel- on both sides

x = 124

Answer 2

$\sf\underline\red{Solution-}$

We know that

subtrahend = minuend - difference

So, required no

= 82-(-42)

= 82 + 42

= 124

Verfication -

difference = minuend - subtrahend

= 82-124

= -42

Extra info -

• Minuend - The number from which we subtract the subtrahend to get the difference.
• Subtrahend - The number which we decrease/subtract from the minuend.
• Difference - The result obtained after subtracting the subtrahend from the minuend.
